...a little deed can make another person happier...

While I was eating, I heard this 89 year-old woman was coughing. I saw her struggling to cough and I went to her table and asked, "are you ok?" She replied, "I am trying to cough but it is difficult." I advised her not to talk but to inhale few times before coughing again.It worked, she finally coughed and able to enjoy her food again. I asked her, "how is the food?" She answered, "it is....de..li.cious." Just a little deed can make another person happier and the food can be very delicious...
